TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies,
and in particular, to an adaptive multi-antenna data transmission method, apparatus,
and system.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, in multiple-input multiple-output (Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put, MIMO)
communication, a closed-loop precoding transmission solution that is used in a low-speed
scenario and based on channel estimation may provide a quite high array gain. However,
when a moving speed of a user increases or when there is a hardware error, a direction
of a beam transmitted by a base station is prone to not matching the user, causing
a performance loss. Especially when there are a quite large quantity of antennas,
a performance loss is more severe. Generally, a base station performs data transmission
according to a beam-unrelated parameter of user equipment (User Equipment, UE), which
cannot change a status or quality of a link. As a result, an application of a large-scale
antenna system in a frequency division duplex (Frequency Division Duplexing, FDD)
scenario is greatly restricted.
[0003] Based on the foregoing description, in the prior art, a direction of a beam is prone
to not matching a user, which causes a relatively large performance loss; especially
when there are a quite large quantity of antennas, there is no appropriate data transmission
solution in an FDD scenario.

method, apparatus, and system, which are used to resolve a problem in the prior art
that a large performance loss is caused due to an improper beam in a multi-antenna
scenario.
[0027] In the following, detailed descriptions are separately provided by using specific
embodiments.
[0028] To make the invention objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention

to distinguish between similar objects but do not necessarily indicate a specific
order or a specific sequence. It should be understood that the data termed in such

not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, product, or device.
[0030] To better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, refer to FIG.
1, which is an adaptive multi-antenna data transmission method according to an embodiment
of the present invention. The method includes:
101. Acquire, at a current time interval, a beam adjustment parameter of UE.
[0031] In this embodiment of the present invention, a base station may acquire, at the current
time interval, the beam adjustment parameter of the UE. The time interval is a period
for the base station or the UE to perform beam width adjusting, and the time interval
is a preset period of time and may be 1 second, 5 seconds, or 10 seconds. In an actual
application, specific duration of the time interval may be set according to a need,
which is not limited herein.
[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, the base station
may determine the beam adjustment parameter of the UE by using a beam adjustment reference
parameter fed back by the UE, or the base station may directly receive the beam adjustment
parameter of the UE fed back by the UE.
[0033] 102. Adjust a beam width of the UE according to the beam adjustment parameter of
the UE.
[0034] In this embodiment of the present invention, the base station adjusts the beam width
of the UE according to the beam adjustment parameter of the UE.
[0035] The UE may be any UE in all UEs in a cell managed by the base station, or may be
UE having data to be transmitted in a current uplink subframe. In an actual application,
a type of UE on which beam width adjusting is performed may be determined according
to a need, which is not limited herein.
[0036] 103. Perform precoding processing on to-be-transmitted data of the UE according to
an adjusted beam width of the UE and direction information of the UE, so as to implement
data transmission.
[0037] In this embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the adjusted beam width
of the UE, the base station performs precoding processing on the to-be-transmitted
data of the UE according to the adjusted beam width of the UE and the direction information
of the UE, so as to implement data transmission of the UE. The direction information
refers to a direction of arrival (Direction Of Arrival, DOA) of the UE.
[0038] The base station may estimate the DOA of the UE, and a method used by the base station
to estimate the DOA of the UE is an existing technology.
[0039] In this embodiment of the present invention, a base station acquires, at a current
time interval, a beam adjustment parameter of UE; adjusts a beam width of the UE according
to the beam adjustment parameter of the UE; and performs precoding processing on to-be-transmitted
data of the UE according to an adjusted beam width of the UE and direction information
of the UE, so as to perform data transmission. A beam width of UE is adjusted, so
that a direction of a beam during data transmission can better match a direction of
the UE. Therefore, a status or quality of a link for the UE is improved and a performance
loss is reduced.
[0040] To better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention,
an adaptive multi-antenna data transmission method is described, referring to FIG.
2. The method includes:
201. Acquire, at a current time interval, a beam adjustment parameter of UE.
[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, a base station may adjust, at the current
time interval, a beam width of the UE in a range of a cell managed by the base station.
Specifically, the base station may acquire the beam adjustment parameter of the UE.
[0042] In this embodiment of the present invention, the base station may acquire the beam
adjustment parameter of the UE according to the following manner:
the UE obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the UE by using a beam adjustment
reference parameter, and feeds back the obtained beam adjustment parameter to the
base station; or the UE feeds back the foregoing beam adjustment reference parameter
to the base station, and the base station determines the beam adjustment parameter
of the UE.
[0043] The foregoing beam adjustment reference parameter may be a channel quality indicator
(Channel quality indicator, CQI) or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signalto
Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR) of the UE.
[0044] In a case in which the beam adjustment reference parameter is a CQI of the UE, the
UE may obtain a change speed or change amplitude of an SINR of the UE according to
a CQI of the UE at the current time interval and a CQI of the UE at a previous time
interval, obtain the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according to the change speed
or change amplitude of an SINR of the UE, and send the obtained beam adjustment parameter
of the UE to the base station. Alternatively, in a case in which the beam adjustment
reference parameter is an SINR of the UE, the UE may obtain a change speed or change
amplitude of an SINR of the UE according to an SINR of the UE and an SINR of the UE
at a previous time interval, obtain the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according
to the change speed or change amplitude of an SINR of the UE, and send the obtained
beam adjustment parameter of the UE to the base station.
[0045] That the UE obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according to the change
speed of an SINR of the UE specifically includes: if the change speed of an SINR of
the UE is greater than a first preset value, the UE determines that the beam adjustment
parameter of the UE is a first preset adjustment parameter value; if the change speed
of an SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the first preset value and is greater
than a second preset value, the UE determines that the beam adjustment parameter of
the UE is a second preset adjustment parameter value; and if the change speed of an
SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the second preset value, the UE determines
that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a third preset adjustment parameter
value.
[0046] Alternatively, that the UE obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according
to the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE specifically includes: if the change
amplitude of an SINR of the UE is greater than a third preset value, the UE determines
that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a fourth preset adjustment parameter
value; if the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the third
preset value and is greater than a fourth preset value, the UE determines that the
beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a fifth preset adjustment parameter value;
and if the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the fourth
preset value, the UE determines that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a
sixth preset adjustment parameter value.
[0047] In a case in which the beam adjustment reference parameter is a CQI of the UE, the
UE may send a CQI of the UE at the current time interval to the base station; after
receiving the CQI of the UE, the base station obtains a change speed or change amplitude
of an SINR of the UE according to the CQI of the UE at the current time interval and
a CQI of the UE at a previous time interval; the base station obtains the beam adjustment
parameter of the UE according to the change speed or change amplitude of an SINR of
the UE. Alternatively, in a case in which the beam adjustment reference parameter
is an SINR of the UE, the UE may send an SINR of the UE at the current time interval
to the base station; after receiving the SINR of the UE at the current time interval,
the base station obtains a change speed or change amplitude of an SINR of the UE according
to the SINR of the UE at the current time interval and an SINR of the UE at a previous
time interval; the base station obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according
to the change speed or change amplitude of an SINR of the UE.
[0048] That the base station obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the UE according to
the change speed of an SINR of the UE may be specifically: if the change speed of
an SINR of the UE is greater than a first preset value, the base station determines
that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a first preset adjustment parameter
value; if the change speed of an SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the first
preset value and is greater than a second preset value, the base station determines
that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a second preset adjustment parameter
value; and if the change speed of an SINR of the UE is less than or equal to the second
preset value, the base station determines that the beam adjustment parameter of the
UE is a third preset adjustment parameter value.
[0049] Alternatively, that the base station obtains the beam adjustment parameter of the
UE according to the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE may be specifically: if
the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE is greater than a third preset value, the
base station determines that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a fourth preset
adjustment parameter value; if the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE is less than
or equal to the third preset value and is greater than a fourth preset value, the
base station determines that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is a fifth preset
adjustment parameter value; and if the change amplitude of an SINR of the UE is less
than or equal to the fourth preset value, the base station determines that the beam
adjustment parameter of the UE is a sixth preset adjustment parameter value.
[0050] In this embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing change speed of an SINR
may be an increased speed of an SINR or may be a decreased speed of an SINR. The change
amplitude of an SINR may be an increased value of an SINR or may be a decreased value
of an SINR. The change speed and the change amplitude of an SINR are obtained based
on the SINR of the UE at the previous time interval and the SINR of the UE at the
current time interval.
[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present invention, the UE saves
the acquired CQI or the acquired SINR at the current time interval, so that the CQI
or the SINR may be used at a next time interval to determine the beam adjustment parameter.
The base station also saves the CQI or the SINR that is at the current time interval
and sent by the UE, so that the CQI or the SINR may be used at a next time interval
to determine the beam adjustment parameter of the UE.
[0052] Each of the foregoing first adjustment parameter value to sixth adjustment parameter
value is a preset parameter value for adjusting a beam width of the UE. In an actual
application, specific values of the first adjustment parameter value to the sixth
adjustment parameter value may be set according to a specific need. For example, if
a decreased value of an SINR is greater than a preset value N, it may be considered
that a beam width, set by the base station, of the UE is excessively narrow. As a
result, the UE enters a beam signal attenuation area during a moving process. In this
case, it is determined that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is Δ
k and Δ
k is greater than 0, to increase the beam width of the UE. If the decreased value of
an SINR is less than or equal to the preset value N but is greater than a preset value
M, it may be considered that the beam width, set by the base station, of the UE is
appropriate, and it is determined that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is
0. If the decreased value of an SINR is less than or equal to the preset value M,
it may be considered that the beam width, set by the base station, of the UE is excessively
wide, and it is determined that the beam adjustment parameter of the UE is - Δ
k, to decrease the beam width of the UE.
[0053] The foregoing UE may be one UE or may be multiple UEs, and the UE may be any UE in
all UEs in a range of a cell managed by the base station, or may be UE having data
to be transmitted in a current uplink subframe. If the base station simultaneously
adjusts beam widths of multiple UEs, some UEs of the multiple UEs may be UE having
data to be transmitted in a current uplink subframe, and remaining UEs may be UE having
no data to be transmitted in a current uplink subframe.
[0054] In this embodiment of the present invention, if the foregoing UE is UE having no
data to be transmitted in a current uplink subframe, for this type of UE, the base
station may preset a corresponding beam width modulating pilot similar to a demodulation
reference signal (Demodulation reference signaling, DMRS). The beam width modulating
pilot is sent after undergoing beamforming precoding of a corresponding user, and
therefore, a relatively low overhead is caused. For a location of the pilot, reference
may be made to a pilot setting of a cell reference signal (Cell Reference Signaling,
CRS). Different from the pilot setting of a CRS, the beam width modulating pilot needs
to be sent, by using all antennas, after undergoing precoding processing. The UE detects
a signal at a corresponding pilot location, and estimates an SINR of the UE, so as
to further determine an adjustment parameter for a beam width. Two UEs are used as
an example. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a beam width modulating
pilot according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a square block represents
a resource element (Resource Element, RE). A signal may be carried in a resource element
to implement signal transmission. In FIG. 3, a black RE is a beam width modulating
pilot of UE having no data to be transmitted in an uplink subframe, and an RE with
one "x" represents that the UE has no data to be transmitted in an uplink subframe.
Signals in REs, having pilots, of UE 1 and UE 2 are separately sent after undergoing
precoding. On a UE side, UE may obtain a signal that is in a resource element (Resource
Element, RE) location having no pilot to be sent, so as to obtain an SINR through
calculation, where the signal is an interference signal.
[0055] 202. Adjust a beam width of the UE according to the beam adjustment parameter of
the UE.
[0056] In this embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the beam adjustment
parameter of the foregoing UE, the base station adjusts the beam width of the UE according
to the beam adjustment parameter of the UE. Specifically, a sum of the beam adjustment
parameter of the UE and a beam width of the UE at the previous time interval is used
as an adjusted beam width of the UE. Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram
of adjusting a beam width according to an embodiment of the present invention, where
Θ
k represents a beam width, before being adjusted, of UE, an angle formed by solid lines
in FIG. 4 is Θ
k, and Δ
k is an adjustment parameter for a beam broadband of the UE. The UE directly sends
the beam adjustment parameter Δ
k to a base station. After obtaining the beam adjustment parameter, the base station
adds the beam width Θ
k, before being adjusted, of the UE to the beam adjustment parameter Δ
k to obtain an adjusted beam width Θ
k + Δ
